Due to their clean habits, friendliness with humans, and affection towards their owners, the Persian is preferred over most cat breeds for apartment living. The obverse of this gold coin features the monarch, Queen Elizabeth II and the words, "Isle of Man". The year the coin was minted, 1989, is also featured on the reverse. On the obverse of the coin displays the cat of choice for that year: the Persian cat. The cat is looking intently outwards and is standing on all fours. The cat's whiskers are defined, making the cat look life-like. There is another cat in the far distance and some seagulls are flying overhead. The coin's weight, 1 oz, is also present on the reverse.
